Few neurosurgeons work less than 50-60 hours a week (80+ is not at all unusual), practically all of them complain about lack of time with family (high divorce rate), and hobbies are usually flexible ones (e.g. if you run, better run around a track when you're on call).
Neurosurgeons who are new to their field and who have been in the industry for less than one year can expect to make between $17 and $107 an hour, according to PayScale in 2010. The $17 is likely a reflection of a resident's pay, who aren't paid a full salary until they complete residency.
